Love And Drama In 7th Year

~Chapter One~

It was the summer between his 6th and 7th year at Hogwarts, and Harry was counting the days till he would return. He turned over in his bed and look at the clock. He had just turned seventeen, and he didn't even realize it. He turned again to his window and saw Hedwig, Pig and a gray owl coming through.
"I knew they would remember!" Harry said to himself. Last year had been a tough one, and he was afraid they would have been so piled up in their troubles, that Ron and Hermione would have forgotten his birthday. He took the packages from the owl's claws, handed each a bronze knut, and before opening his presents, he thought about the previous year's events. Last year, about a week before the term would end, Harry met up with Voldemort, and barely escaped. Neville Longbottom stumbled on them dueling wizards, and was instantly murdered the same way Cedric Diggory was: the death spell, Avada Kedavra! Harry escaped from his foe, but had the feeling that something would happen this year. Harry shivered thinking of that thought and decided to open his present. He opened the letter from Ron.
Dear Harry,
How is your summer going? I hope the muggles aren't treating you too bad!
I just got an owl from Hermione, and, of course, she is Head Girl. I wonder who got Head Boy? I hope not Seamus. He would set the first years on fire!
Anyway, if you already have opened your gift, you are probably clueless about what it is. It is called a Luckley, and it is supposed to grant you good luck with your enemies. I thought you could use it against You-Know-Who. Oh yeah, Ginny says hello. We both helped pay for the Luckley, so the gift is from both of us. Harry, she has been getting lots of Owls from
Colin Creevy. I think she has gotten over you! It's about time, right?
Well, got to go. See you in a week!
--Ron

Harry opened the package from Ron, and saw a necklace with a glass dragon dangling from it. Harry smiled at the thought of Ginny over him, and put the necklace in one of his pockets. Then, he turned to the second package. It was from Hermione. This time Harry opened the package first. It was a beautiful frame of Harry and Hermione from last term at platform 9 ¾.
Harry smiled, looking at himself in the picture, poking Hermione, who was laughing. Then he took the envelope, opened it up, and read what was inside.

Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday! Hope you like the picture! I thought we both looked great, and decided it would be a perfect birthday present! Guess what? I just got my Hogwarts letter, and I am Head Girl. Did you get yours? How are your aunt and uncle treating you? Remember, Harry, don't let them get you down! The Weasleys and I care for you so much!
Well, I spent my summer reading about Animagi. It is quite interesting to learn
the process, and how you to be the animal that you are. Well, that's all for now. See you at the start of the term!
Love,
Hermione

Harry stared at the word Love and decided this would be a very interesting year. Last, he took the letter Hedwig had for him.

Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been chosen as The Head Boy for this term. Enclosed in this letter is your supply list and badge. As Head Boy, you must put on a good example for your fellow peers. The term starts on September 1st . The train will leave from Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress

Harry put the letter away, and took out his Head Boy badge, very surprised. Remembering what Ron had written, he scribbled on a piece of parchment that he was Head Boy, and sent it off with Hedwig. Then he laid back on his pillow closed his eyes and drifted off into a soundless sleep.
